Prop 64 Forum
Monday, January 30th from 6-8pm - a public forum on Prop 64 will be held at the Nevada Theatre, on the future of cannabis in Nevada County. The event includes a speaker panel discussion with press Q&A.
The panel, which will break down the complexities of the AUMA proposal, will consist of lawyers, community activists and medical marijuana consultants, well-versed on the reformation of marijuana legalization through Prop 64, which seeks to:
- Allow adults 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and cultivate up to six plants for personal use.
- Regulate and tax the production, manufacture, and sale of marijuana for adult use.
- Rewrite criminal penalties so as to reduce the most common marijuana felonies to misdemeanors and allow prior offenders to petition for reduced charges.
This forum will also be broadcast live on KVMR from 6-8pm
